Hi,

I'm having trouble installing/using NetCDF, and having looked at the website I hope I've picked the right mailing list. Sorry if I'm sending this in error.

I have a macbook pro and I'm new to compiling. I am trying to install NetCDF to use with a modelling program called FVCOM, which I also have to compile. I had compiled fvcom fine but then realised I needed NetCDF libraries installed. On my first attempt to install NetCDF, 'configure' produced this error:

checking if Fortran "byte" is C "signed char"...
configure: error: Could not link conftestf.o and conftest.o

and after searching online found that they suggested using this line of code instead, if you didn't need fortran installed.

FC= ./configure

as I have already got gfortran installed I thought that would be ok. It seemed to work, as after this was typed it compiled and installed fine. However, when I tried to compile FVCOM while linking to these libraries, it came up with this error:

Can't open module file 'netcdf.mod' for reading at (1): No such file or directory

And there is indeed no netcdf.mod file in the 'include' directory. I'm not sure where to go from here... as it seems to be a NetCDF issue at this point I thought here was the best place. I read in an archive something about telling NetCDF about the existing gfortran libraries when it configures - but I have no idea how to do that. Does anybody know how I fix this?

Many thanks,

Jenny
